Vouti­lainen

In­de­pen­dent Swiss watch­maker Kari Vouti­lainen has re­leased his sixth watch in his GMT se­ries, made for the Kidz Hori­zon Ap­peal auc­tion in Sin­ga­pore. The watch is a ti­ta­nium-case ver­sion of his iconic GMT watch and bears his sig­na­ture hands and enamel dial. The Dun­can se­ries was started by friends of the late Amer­i­can-Chi­nese busi­ness­man and watch con­nois­seur Dun­can Wang. The watch’s out­stand­ing fea­ture is its es­cape­ment; it is the first watch to pre­sent two es­cape-wheels in such a con­fig­u­ra­tion. It is ex­tremely ef­fi­cient and re­quires less en­ergy than tra­di­tional lever es­cape­ments.
